Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13416 has a glossy finish. If you are wanting a matte black finish then you'll need the etrailer Hitch item # e23ZR. These hitches are made by the same vendor and are identical. They are both confirmed to fit all models of the 2023 Toyota RAV4.

I have linked an installation video below.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56434 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
